The students at King’s School are from many different countries. I’m in a class which has students from Japan, Mexico, Germany, and Italy. It’s really interesting to meet so many different people. The director of the school is British, but my teacher is American. She’s from New York and her name’s Helen. She’s very nice and she’s an excellent teacher. Her classes are always great fun.
